  • Patent number: 10618269
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a front pillar, a resin layer is formed by discharging a transparent resin from first nozzles of a 3D printer and discharging a supporting material from second nozzles of the 3D printer, while moving the first nozzles and the second nozzles in a direction corresponding to a length direction of a front pillar. Afterwards, the first nozzles and the second nozzles are moved relatively in a direction corresponding to a transverse direction of the front pillar and in a direction of moving away from the resin layer. By repeating the forming of the resin layer and the relative moving of the first nozzles and the second nozzles, the resin layers are layered in the direction corresponding to the transverse direction of the front pillar such that the front pillar is manufactured.
